Going to California soon, which one should I go to? I'm an intermediate

Much as I don't prefer Heavenly, it's tailor made for someone of your

check the Casinos for deals, though) night life and a large intermediate
mountain (now owned by Vail - does anyone else think Vail is out to
corner the "intermediate skiing market?")
